classwork/Homework
Monday IB Biology - Our goal for today is to diagram the structure and replication of DNA. The key terms you must work with are: Nucleic acid, Bases, Antiparallel, DNA, Leading and lagging strands, Gyrase, Helicase, SSB Proteins, Polymerase III, Primase, Okazaki Fragment, Polymerase I, Ligase. List these on the right side and then diagram on the left side. USE BioNinja for help. As far as homework goes, remember that there will be a unit test on Tuesday, tomorrow. Get your one pager done on water, and macromolecules. Biology - Today we did two things to move on. The first things we did was to set up our notebooks with the guiding questions that we need for the upcoming movie while I'm gone for the next two days. Here are the questions again and remember, these go on the right side of an entry:What is a GMO? Can you get a patent on a living organism? Why is bacteria a concern for Big Food? What is the primary function of business? On Left side of the same entry I want you to do the following... Positive and negative aspects of Big Food. Examine the problem of big farms next to small farms. Are we a part of the problem? Then we focused on today's lesson which is all about selecting good foods. Today within your lab group we had to select an order, from 1-10, for each of the foods presented and more importantly list a reason for why we selected the foods we did. This was all on the right hand side of a new entry. Whatever you don't finish today you must do tonight. Honors Biology - Today we did two things to move on.

The time you have in class is the only time you have to work so work efficiently. If by some chance you complete your test early, you can work on your conclusion for the enzyme lab that you completed last week. Please remember that not only the validity of your data should be discussed, but also the conclusion should be attached to a health issue. In other words, how does your research attach to a real world issue. A fully printed copy of your lab report is due tomorrow. Biology - Today you should have watched the first half of Food Inc. and responded to many of the questions we created yesterday. When I return on Thursday you will be taking a quiz on this movie and you should really have thought about some of these questions deeply. Tonight, talk to your family about some of the ideas you heard about. You could jot down their ideas.

When I return on Thursday you will be taking a quiz on this movie and you should really have thought about some of these questions deeply. Tonight, talk to your family about some of the ideas you heard about in this movie as to how they relate to our health. Just because it says something in a movie doesn't mean that it's the only perspective so it's okay to have differing ideas. Jot down their ideas. Wednesday - I'M OUT AGAIN! IB Biology - Today the first thing you need to do is to turn in your lab report! The substitute will collect these reports. Remember that we will be following up with another experiment to improve our research skills. So while you take some of your time to discuss what your follow up experimentation will be, understand that you are also going to begin your next project which will be a film project. The requirements for this are as follows: You will either be ASSIGNED translation or transcription (7.2 Transcription and gene expression, or 7.3 Translation including protein folding). You may not have a group of more than 3 people (yes, this includes you, but you get to choose). This film can be stop motion, live action, cartoon, old-school documentary, conspiracy theory video, use special effects, etc. (Yes, there will be special awards for creativity). You must incorporate all of the concepts found in the text into a story line and it must teach us the process so that someone walking away fully understands the material. Your substitute will randomly give you your assignment once you have established your groups (or you can work on your own). The rest of your class time is for your to start to digest the material. As homework I need you to complete the following subjects into your notes: Semi-conservative, Role of nucleosomes, Non-coding regions of DNA, DNA profiling, Activity starting on page 352, DBQ on 353, and DNA sequencing. Biology - Today you should have watched the second half of Food Inc. and responded to all of the questions we created on Tuesday. When I return on Thursday you will be taking a quiz on this movie and you should really have thought about some of these questions deeply. If you didn't watch the whole movie, here is the link: Food Inc. Tonight, talk to your family about some of the ideas you heard about. You will need three food labels from things you eat for tomorrow in class.

For tomorrow's class I need you to bring in 3 food or drink labels from things that you eat frequently. Thursday IB Biology - Do you understand the filming project? It is tentatively due Wednesday of next week. Quiz on structure and replication is coming tomorrow so refresh your brain on what you should know (7.1) including responses and logic from your DBQ, etc. ! Biology - So today we discussed the movie you watched yesterday and then took a Socrative quiz on it. You then found out how food guidelines can help you make better choices and then we examined the labels you brought in. After dealing with the food labels you brought, I need you to come up with an alternative for these foods. In other words, what is one food that is better than the ones you looked at today. Please explain why the new food is better. Honors Biology - So today we discussed the movie you watched yesterday and then took a Socrative quiz on it.

In other words, what is an alternative food/drink for each of the ones you brought in that is better than the ones you brought in. Please explain why each of the new food/drink is better than the last.. Friday IB Biology - So today what we did was begin the process of filming on transcription and translation. We'll talk about gene expression a bit later, but if you want to include it, go for it! I will have your tests graded shortly and put in the grade book. I also now have all of your labs and will probably get those in before the weekend is done. Biology - We took a bit of a step back to get caught up with the Food Inc. information. If you want to find out more about the food industry now as opposed to when the film was made just pick any topic covered from the movie and do a comparison using reputable sites. As to what you must do, I need you to do what I actually planned for you yesterday, I need you to come up with an alternative for the foods you brought in. In other words, what is one food that is better than the ones you looked at today. Please explain why the new food is better. This goes on a separate sheet of paper and should have a label, and a detailed description of how this is a better food than the ones you brought in.
